The big brown truck left a package at my gun store for me, it was waiting when I got back into town this afternoon:



At the top left is a 4 inch Kimber stainless TLE/RL II. One of only a couple of models Kimber produces in the 4 inch size with a bottom mounted rail for a tactical light to be attached. Standard with glow in the dark night sights.

At the bottom right is a 4 inch Kimber Compact CDP II. Produced in the Custom Shop, the CDP model features all the bells and whistles, included a 'melded' treatment so there are no rough edges to snag on clothing when carrying or unholstering.While most of the 4 inch CDP models are in the 'PRO' family with full size grips, the hard to find Compact model shown here features the shorter grips found on the 3 inch Ultra series.

The picture below shows the difference in the grip, that results in better concealability.

I am so jeaulous!!! Those are beautiful!!

Very nice, congratulations.

Excellent choice!

If you dont mind me asking, What store did you order these through? How long did it take to recieve them after you ordered?


The reason I ask, I ordered a new Custom TLE II back on 3-15, and I was wondering how long the wait time from Kimber might be.

I bought both of these and my 2 stainless Raptors off GunBroker.com, and all from the same dealer: Osage County Guns in Belle, Mo. Here's one of the links to what I just received from them:

If you click on the link to the seller's other guns for sale, they always have about 10 pages of guns listed.... and a fair number of Kimbers, even one of the 2010 models just released - the Ultra TLE.

I clicked on the 'buy it now' options last Thursday night. Sent them a bank cashier's check on Friday, they received it on Monday and shipped the guns the same day, I had them yesterday - Tuesday.

Their prices are right at Kimber's suggested MSRP. On easier to find Kimber models, I might look for a cheaper price. On the ones I have purchased from them that are hot demand and hard to find, I don't mind paying MSRP because that's cheaper than some of the local gun shops jacking up the prices.

If you are enduring a wait time in order to get a gun from Kimber to a dealer, it could be 3-4 months. It all depends on production schedules and how your dealer's order falls into that schedule.
